This hat appears to be a skinned copy of the "Medic's Officer Hat" file that was located in the game files until recently.

Hat somewhat related to M. Bison (Dictator)?

I can see the resemblance to M. Bison, YES YES. [[User:Jozh goober] October 9, 2010

I can't help but feel that the hat is somewhat related to a famous Street Fighter character. (nanosheep_inc) 06:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I think that if you take off the tf2 emblem, M.bison would never realize. User:freakoholic7042 18:56,12 october 2010 (UTC)

That hat is just like Bison's. I would put that on the trivia section. Mike Red 18:45, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

It's a police cap. The M Bison similarity is a coincidence.  – Smashman (talk) 21:56, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
YES! YES! -- Vi3trice (talk) 22:01, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

/wiki hat/

It looks like a Dutch train-attendant's hat; with the railroad pin switched with a TF2 logo. FoOz 07:05, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I'd say it resembles a common military officer's hat. --RedShocktrooper 18:49, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

It may be unintentional, but galdarn it I want it because it looks like Bison's hat. If I get it I'm namin' it Shadaloo Chapeau or some other ridiculous thing. --CommodoreJim 04:51, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

It appears to me to be a Peaked cap. They are used throughout many military forces. They orginated from Russia in the early 1700's. Jeff Andonuts 08:55, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

^ This. It reminds me of World War One German Enlisted caps, but with a visor: http://northerngoodies.com/store/item/ns_0276.html Goose511th 19:45, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I think it looks like the SS hats of the 2nd World War, specially if you paint it black. I didn't like what's written on the "Distribution" section on this hats' page, it doesn't explain anything and it does not inform people if some players have already received the hat or not.

Description suggestions

The following discussion is preserved as an archive. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

wiki hat look a lot like a police hat, I have come up with: "Wiki addicts, most accurate information source"

So while in the IRC, I started coming up with new descriptions suggestions. So far my favorite I have come up with is:

"War is but the sum of a merciless edit"

I may list a few more if I think of anything better... -- Benjamuffin Om nom nom! 13:22, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

"All heroic virtues rest on truth." -- MistahFixIt 18:33, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

"Well, you found it. After editing all those pages. Congratulations. Was it worth it?"--Focusknock 18:36, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

"In recognition of your personnal lack of social life for the community knowledge". Well, not as fun as a GladOS reference or original as the WAR! for edit quote, but still, it's the use of this hat. Tturbo 18:43, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

"Changing the way you play, one edit at a time." Attempt at a simple one -- Benjamuffin Om nom nom! 18:45, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

^ The GLaDOS one's a winner fo' shore. Also, "The truth is like an Ubered Heavy. You can shut it out for a while, but it ain't goin' away." -- MistahFixIt 18:48, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

"This hat may be stubby, but the articles sure ain't!" -- Benjamuffin Om nom nom! 18:50, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

"Those who don this cap have accomplished the most edit-ifying deeds" -- Alsoodani 18:53, 4 October 2010 (UTC)Alsoodani

  • or some other such sentence with edit-ifiying (pun on edit and edifying). Definition:Edifying-enlightening or uplifting so as to encourage intellectual or moral improvement [1] Isn't that what we do around here? Doing something enlightening to encourage intellectual improvement (in this case: Team Fortress 2 Knowledge)? :D What do you guys think of the quote? -- Alsoodani 18:53, 4 October 2010 (UTC)Alsoodani

What about... "The enemy has been marked for deletion." -- OluapPlayer (t) Howdy, pardner! 21:53, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I considered [citation needed] the other day. But I was thinking about naming my hat that.  – Smashman (talk) 21:55, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Speaking of which, I read on the older Talk Page some were looking to change the name (The Recent Change was the best proposition so far), is it still an actual fact? Tturbo 23:33, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
As I've been instructed, here are my ideas for the new Wiki Cap name: The Captributor, The Cap Lock or The (Wiki) Service Cap... But I prefer the first two personally... Tturbo 03:32, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

"A souvenir from the edit war of '09" - Ravedave 03:48, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Maybe the "Commandant Service cap" or something like this -Mendel777 04:12, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Getting my quote description for the Wiki Cap evaluated by Robin himself?! Squeeeee! realizes what he just squealed, quickly tries to act normal * Ahem! * I mean, yes, indubitably! Jolly good. Alsoodani 21:54, 6 October 2010 (UTC) - Alsoodani
Put special emphasis on mine, Smash. Mine! (cause it's cool) -RJ 21:55, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
Agreed- Each here is awesome and witty in its own way. (now to wait for the almighty overlords at Valve to pick one!) -VintagePC 01:27, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Can we know the selected ones? I'm hoping for the "War! is merciless edit", the "Edit-fying", the "GladOS", and the "you know that they know......" ones, those are my personnal favorites (My good one, based on Fallout 3 was way too long XD). Tturbo 02:14, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support I love this. We need more of this style. Perhaps something like "Rollback is not an option in WAR!" ~ lhavelund (t ▪ c) 19:41, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

"I'm glad the "Wiki Cap" needs to be earned rather than purchased or awarded to users who have bought a specific game off of steam. Anyways, this is by far the best looking 'all class' hat that is out!" Thebib62 02:44, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Just so you guys know. RobinWalker looked through all of these and loved them. Great job. Unfortunately, to keep the manner of earning this hat as clear as possible, we're likely going with "Given to great Team Fortress Wiki contributors" But yeah, nice one guys. How does it feel to have one so awesome judge your written text?  – Smashman (talk) 22:15, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
That's very cool man :) Swordz 22:41, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't that say reject your written text :p --CruelCow 22:54, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
BUZZ KILL! I thought mine was perfect for it, I even wrote Robin a very hilarious email (if anyone's interested I can show you it.). BUT, it's ok, it makes sense that Robin want to make the matter as clear as possible so we get more (hopefully quality) contributors. - Alsoodani 23:01, 14 October 2010 (UTC)Alsoodani
Least it's better than the sarcastic description we have now. -The Neotank ( | Talk) User The Neotank Signeotank.gif 23:21, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
On that note, is this official enough to be in the article yet? --CruelCow 23:23, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Well Smashman said "we're likely going with", which I don't interpret as being a certainty. Let's leave it as it is in-game - until it's changed. -RJ 23:29, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Agreed. Unless it is officially in the game it should not be put on the website. Stexe 21:29, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
it is officially in the game it has a file and it can be hacked it just has no way of unlocking yetAres5566 23:47, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes, we know about that. Stexe was referring to the new hat description. -- Vi3trice (talk) 00:52, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

"The cap of true knowledge", well that was the highlight of my day... Corkscrew 03:55, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Grammar

It's locked from editing, but it should say "somewhere on your user page", not just "somewhere your user page". Throwing that out there for whomever can edit. Thanks. Scurve 07:26, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

K. -- En Ex (talk) 07:36, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
How did no-one notice? Seriously we were all blind Raptorbones 08:44, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I realized that too, terrible grammar bothers me. --DarkShard 20:08, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm glad we're all having conscience about the article's grammatical accuracy. -- En Ex (talk) 15:13, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

How are you supposed to get this

I mean like, Are they gonna give us a link thru email or something??--The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chaplin (talk) • contribs)

You don't. That's the magic. --Vaught 03:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
Nobody has one yet. Please stop asking until they actually exist. — Wind 03:51, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Name suggestions

Well we had a description suggestion bit and I'm thinking that the current name, when compared to the other hat names, is a bit bland. Rules:

  1. Has to refer to the Wiki in some fashion.
  2. Alliteration is not a requirement, but it would be interesting as many hats include it at the moment. Up to you.

Suggestions

Wiki Warrior. Had to be said, don't kill me. -The Neotank ( | Talk) User The Neotank Signeotank.gif 22:35, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

  • Well some time ago I suggested those 3 new Wiki Cap names: The Captributor, The Cap Lock or The (Wiki) Service Cap... Now, I have other ideas. If you like alliterations, I can suggest: The Wiki Workers Way, The Changer Cap or The editor's excellence (or elegance). Tturbo 22:39, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
Tturbo, I like "Editor's Elegance". Has that Gentlemannely ring to it. -The Neotank ( | Talk) User The Neotank Signeotank.gif 22:48, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Revisionist's Revelation. Editor's Ensemble. Compelling Contributor. Cap of Maintenance. Patroller's Cap. Reckless Revisionist. Pilk's Peak. I'll add more as I think of 'em. -- En Ex (talk) 22:41, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
